Issue/Introduction

After adding a new ACL, how can one verify if it is now available to be used in TPX?

 

Environment

Release: TPX 5.4
Component: Z/OS

Resolution

If creating a new ACL (or changing an existing ACL),  a RELOAD must be performed using TPXOPER so that the ACL is available for use:
             TPXOPER Command :   RELOAD ACL=aclname

If a RELOAD for an ACL is attempted,  that does not exist in your ACL library, (perhaps a typo or it's in the wrong library), the following message is displayed.
             MENORL06 ACL reload scheduled

 *** Do not assume that the ACL is active and TPX can process it.

Use TPXOPER to verify it is available for use.Assuming your cmdchar is "/", enter the tpxoper command,
            /S aclname<press cmdkey>  

If the ACL is not found you will get the following error:

In this case, try to RELOAD the ACL again or re-cycle TPX.
